Of note was that wide receiver Josh Boyce, a fourth-round draft choice out of Texas Christian, was on the sidelines, presumably as he continues his recovery from a previously broken bone in his foot, which is believed to have been injured prior to the combine. While addressing the media earlier in the day, Boyce described his status as "day-to-day."

I think we may have finally found a pair of WRs that fit really well in the Patriots system of being hard working pros that people have their doubts about. I wanted the Patriots to double down on WRs in this draft so that we could hopefully replicate the Gronk/Nando Ridley/Vereen success but would at least get one good one out of the group. With the addition of Moe we have an even greater opportunity to strike gold on one our more of these picks to become future stars for NE.
